JACKSONVILLE – The '25 Jaguars will have a national and international feel. They'll have a West Coast feel, too. The Jaguars in 2025 will play once internationally, twice nationally and once in prime time. They also will play four West Coast games – with the NFL releasing the Jaguars' 2025 schedule along with the entire '25 league schedule Wednesday at 8 p.m. Among the highlights of the Jaguars' '25 schedule: A Week 7 home game against the Los Angeles Rams at Wembley Stadium in London on NFL Network and a Week 5 game against the Kansas City Chiefs at EverBank Stadium in Jacksonville on Monday Night Football on ESPN/ABC. The Jaguars in '25 will play three 2024 division champions in the first seven games – and five of their first seven opponents had a winning record in '24. They will play host to the Carolina Panthers in Week 1, visit the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 2, then play their first AFC South game of the season in Week 3 when they play host to the defending division champion Houston Texans. They then visit the San Francisco 49ers before playing host to the Chiefs – the defending AFC and AFC West Champions – the following week. The Jaguars finish a difficult season-opening stretch with back-to-back home games against NFC West teams – the Seattle Seahawks and Rams – before a Week 8 bye. They play four road games in five weeks after the bye. They play the Las Vegas Raiders on the road in Week 9, then visit the Texans in Week 10 before playing host to the Los Angeles Chargers. They then play two more consecutive road games – at the Arizona Cardinals and at the Tennessee Titans of the AFC South. The Jaguars finish the '25 season with three of five games in Jacksonville, including home games against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 14 and the New York Jets in Week 15. They visit the Denver Broncos and Colts in Weeks 16 and 17 before playing host to the Titans in the Week 18 regular-season finale. The time and date of the Week 18 game will be determined following Week 17 games. The Jaguars in 2025 will play four games each against teams from the AFC West (Denver, Kansas City, Chargers, Las Vegas) and NFC West (Rams, San Francisco, Arizona, Seattle) and six games against AFC South teams (Indianapolis, Tennessee, Houston). They also will play the 2024 third-place teams from the AFC North (Cincinnati), AFC East (New York Jets) and NFC South (Carolina). The schedule features four games against 2024 division champions (Houston twice, Kansas City, Rams) and two games against other 2024 playoff teams (Chargers, Denver). Seven of their 17 games are against teams that had winning records in 2024.
